I get a kick outta the fact that the NRA has the Catholic Church on it's list (or at least part of it anyways). I've pointed out to my more conservative catholic/christian friends that they really have to be careful about following groups like the NRA. the Pope's condemnation of the 'culture of death' isn't compatible with the agenda's of groups like the NRA. my observations were not appreciated.

*sigh*

cafeteria catholics. day one of catholic school you learn you can't pick or choose....you either follow ALL the church doctrine or you ain't in the silly hat club anymore. that includes the whole 'no killing' thing, as well as pro-life meaning ALL life is sacred and you gotta take the 'help the sick and poor' seriously. No sneaking ayn rand in there when you think nobody is watching. But...they don't wanna listen. they'd rather cling to what they WANT their religion to be rather than accept what Christ was actually telling them.

Are we down to gun owners that perceive that the right to shoot an AR-15 with their 30 round magazine is in the constitution but the right to have m-16's, hand grenades is not in the constitution?

I gotta ask, how is it s known fact that sawed off shotguns are not constitutional, but ar-15's are. How is a rifle with a barrel below 16-14 inches not legal, but 18 inches is? Mental health evaluations for owning firearms are not constitutional, but criminal records checks for full-auto licenses are?

/Maybe the some people will have the constitutional right to shoot flintlocks, clockwork or percussive cap firearms?

//Not that an AR-15 is any worse then a mini-14, but having assholes cut back on the taticool, and not shooting grade school children with them, would improve perceptions in the general public.

Kyosuke:The NRA is nothing more than a Republican PAC. They don't give a damn about firearms owners in general, and are only concerned about getting as much money as possible from Republican donors and then pretending to funnel it towards campaigns.

Yes, but it's even more than that. They demand that citizens be allowed unlimited access to firearms to protect themselves from a tyrannical government while at the same time demanding increased funding for the very military that would be used against them. They're nothing but a lobby for the weapons industry masquerading as a grassroots organization.

Gee, I didn't see a list of politicians who design and vote for anti-gun legislation. Oh, that's right it would include Mitt Romney and many other GOP members... so we can't tell the public about that !!!
